Connecting Rob Schneider and Elle King

Question

I recently had heard a song by Elle King which I enjoyed. I was surprised to find out that she was the daughter of actor Rob Schneider. Fast forward to today's genealogy fun...I found quite a bit of interesting information into Rob's family. Interestingly, he is 25% Filipino and had Jewish roots. I thought there was a good chance that I could find a connection to the shared tree...and guess what? I have!

Rob's mother was born in the Philippines. Her father was Ulysses Stanley Monroe, an US soldier stationed there around WWI. Ulysses' grandmother, Mary Stanley, is already on Wikitree and is connected to the tree (23 steps from AJ, 34 from Tesla, and 22 steps from Kevin Bacon). I can't connect them though since the profile is not set to open (only public).

Answer 1

Mary Stanley's profile is managed by Claudia C. Breland. <br/> http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Breland-1
<br/>
If you look at her proile, she has posted a direct email address on her message board. My suggestion would be to start by creating a duplicate of the profile in question and immediately propose a merge. Then send Claudia an email requesting that she approve the merge. Then if she responds, you'll be co-manager of the profile and can set the privacy settings to open. If not, the merge will be automatically approved in 30 days with the same result. <br/>
It's not an immediate remedy, but considering Claudia has been active as recently as April 2015 (according to her contributions log) she deserves the courtesy of asking rather than just filing an unresponsive manager request. The turn around time would be about the same either way, but this way she would retain management of the profiles she created, but have an extra helping hand in the managemen going forward. <br/>
Great Find! Thank you for your help in making the World-Wide-Tree tree a little better! <br/>
